๐ Novelette : Stories that refuse to Overstay
A novel is a prose work typically above 40k words, though many fall between 60-100k. Anything between roughly 17k and 40k words is generally considered a novella, while works between about 7k and 17k words are classified as novelettes, with some flexibility ~
TL;DR - short stories with 7k-17k words. Get out of that slump.

Little Books with Big Thoughts ๐ง
Short novels can sometimes be overlooked by readers who usually go for content that will leave them thinking. Usually, only books that are exceptionally long or are known as classics can leave a reader reeling for hours after. However, in around 200 pages or less, these authors have composed multiple or a single story that cause you to question the way things are in the world in comparison to how they could be.

Blood is thicker than we think
These are books where, even though it seems like the family ties are broken beyond repair, the messy and sometimes down right hurtful wounds gets healed. (From any genres, if it made me feel healed family vibes it is here)
